As a parallel programme to accompany the exhibition Martino Gamper: design is a state of mind, Serpentine Galleries have produced a series of short films, linking the collections on loan with the individuals who have loaned them. The films, consisting of interviews led by design curator and writer Emily King, focus on the personal connections that the collectors have forged with these objects.

The films are directed by London-based studio Pundersons Gardens.

Emily King is a London-based design historian who divides her time between writing and curating.
